Greetings Annette!

I'm Robert, JMDivers buddy here in Santa Clarita. Mark, aka SCVDiver is also a local. The local dive clubs are SC Dive Club, meets second Wednesday of the month at Maria's Deli in Newhall (Lyons at San Fernando), and Kelp Krawlers which meets at California Dive Company in Saugus.

I look forward to meeting you at either of the clubs, or drop either John or I a PM to set up a dive with us.

Cheers!!

A few more examples of shore dives can be found on Shorediving.com

You can usually find many of us hardcore beach divers anywhere from Santa Barbara to San Diego every weekend.

And many of us broke-azz beach divers as well!

We're lucky to live where we can be poor and still enjoy some great diving.

Welcome to SB. As you can see, you can quickly find folks to dive with here in SoCal.

Hopefully conditions will improve by the time of the Wrinkles dive. This is the weekend of the annual Avalon Harbor Clean-Up here on Catalina, and it was blowing this morning with whitecaps in the Channel. Seems to have died down now so hopefully we'll have a nice day tomorrow.

Amen to that, Phil!

1. The dive park is not a step above a swimming pool. While it is certainly easy access, it is a world class dive spot. The dive park is at least as good as anywhere I've ever been.

2. For dive clubs, the West LA Dive Club meets the 4th Tuesday of the month (i.e. Tuesday, February 27, 2007). Right now we are at the Spitfire Grill at Santa Monica Airport. Preliminaries at 6:00, formal meeting at 7:00. However, next month we move to (I believe) the Shakey's Pizza on Washington in Marina Del Rey ... That's reasonably close to LAAFB. We'd love to see you.

3. I've got a boat and am not afraid to use it.

All I can say is that you MUST attend a wrinkles dive! I went to my first one this month and had a wonderful time!
